About this event

  • 1 hour 15 minutes

The speaker, Dr. Carl Desouza, is a post doctoral research associate at the Centre for Low Emission Construction (CLEC), which is part of the Aerosol Science Team, in the Environmental Research Group at Imperial College, London.

Research includes measurements of real-world emissions from machines used in the construction sector, development of emission inventories, and potential government policies.

Carl's research aims to raise awareness of the impact of dust and emissions on local air quality & health across the construction industry, by conducting real-world emissions and worker exposure measurements across active construction sites.

Focusing on decarbonisaition by promoting the uptake of mitigation and emerging technologies, Carl's research helps the construction sector to transition towards a NetZero future, in conjunction with central government policy teams in the UK.
